What causes cervical neck pain?
Many injuries and degenerative conditions cause neck pain. Some of the most common causes of neck pain include:
You might also have neck pain from problems elsewhere in your body, like your lumbar spine or the muscles and connective tissue in your back and shoulders.
Poor posture is a prevalent contributing factor to cervical neck pain. Spending hours every day with your head tilted to look at your phone or holding your head at a slight angle to see a computer screen can stress your neck and increase your risk of neck pain.
Dr. Deo begins with a thorough review of your symptoms, medical history, and a discussion about your current overall lifestyle. She utilizes her exemplary palpatory skills to feel for any neck and spine abnormalities. Then she undergoes a series of gentle movements, stretches, and special tests to gather further information regarding your condition.
Dr. Deo also offers in-house diagnostic testing, including Ultrasound and Nerve Conduction Studies, to confirm the cause of your neck pain.
